PORTSMOUTH, Va. (Oct. 19, 2020) Robert (Bob) F. McDonnell, former Governor of Virginia, donates plasma at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP). NMCP is collecting COVID Convalescent Plasma (CCP) in an effort to help patients who are sick with COVID-19 fight the virus. Convalescent plasma is the liquid part of blood that is collected from patients who have recovered from an infection. The antibodies present in convalescent plasma are proteins that may help a person fight the coronavirus. (U.S. Navy photo by Seaman Imani Daniels)
